Visitors to Kanchanaburi City rarely fail to notice a sprawling complex of gigantic old buildings that have served as the municipality's landmark for almost a century. This awe-inspiring site is Thailand's first paper mill, and the Kanchanaburi people have been rallying around it to preserve their local history and heritage.
At one end of the Thai Kanchanaburi Paper Mill complex stand the remains of a two-century-old city wall along the River Kwai. For the locals, this historical site represents both Kanchanaburi's modernisation and industrial growth as well as their ancient cultural heritage.
